What state has the biggest gay population?

California.Although there is no specific US census information on homosexuality, California's population of nearly 37 million (largest in the country) makes it the state with the most homosexuality. It has also consistently had a relatively consistent progressive gay-rights stance.Texas is second, New York is third, and Florida is fourth, all mostly due just to mass of population. After this, the populations are too close to tell.Answer 2:It's an impossible question to answer, because there is no US census on sexual orientation, therefore no demographics. It could be said that many gays tend to cluster in gay ghettos in large cities, but that doesn't make meaningful statistics.San francisco, California. It is well known for it's massive gay population in the states.So is NYC, Chicago, Seattle, Dallas and Atlanta....as was said, there are no accurate census statistics of sexual orientation.


How many gay people live in California?

Scientists usually say 4% to 10% of the worlds population is gay/lesbian, and another 10-15% Bisexual. That would mean with 36,961,664 people in the state of California, (Census - Jul 2009) at least 1,478,466 should theoretically be gay/lesbian.From a website I read (commercialcloset.org) the population of the US is 6-7% homosexual with that number being larger in metropolitan areas. Since San Francisco and Los Angeles are major metropolitan areas one would assume the percentages to be higher there like 8-10%, so my guess would be around 7% of the population of California. There are about 37 million in California so I would guestimate that there would be around 2.6 millions gays, lesbians, and bisexuals living in California. The number is probably much higher, however, as it is difficult to ascertain how many "in-the-closet" homosexuals there are.

The country with the highest gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people is China. While not all countries publish their census data and sexuality is not often a census question, human sexuality is as diverse in every country as it is within the USA. This means that because China is the most populous country in the world, they have the highest homosexual population. California has the highest population in the USA and thus has the highest population of homosexuals.
